eas Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I am trying to set up a simple worksheet to list the areas of rooms in the building I am working on. Each room in the building is defined with a VW Space with name, number and so on filled in. Then the floor plans are all referenced into a new file. In that file I create a report to get a simple database of room name, room number and actual area. All good so far. Very excited by this convenience in VW--I don't need the info but it seems like a quick way to gather it for a consultant. However, when I run the report it seems to be pulling up old information--for example some of the rooms have old numbers from several weeks ago. I purge my files often and created this composite file new today--so how is it finding old info? Does anyone have any suggestions about how to get around this or why it might be happening?

Cris with no H Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Have you Updated the WR? Do you have space objects on hidden layers it might be counting? Cris Dopher Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 If you isolate the Spaces on Space Layers > A-Space-1 < then you can include the Layer in the selection criteria. Currently, the worksheet criteria is searching for all of type > T=Space which search for every Space Container in the file. Quote Link to comment
eas Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 Yes, what I finally got to work was: Isolate the spaces on a separate layer in each plan drawing, reference just those space layers into a new document. No problem with creating the report. I am not sure how it was finding old versions of the spaces--which is why I was saying it was a persistence of memory problem. The things the worksheet was finding are no longer in the documents--they have been updated. It is a bit of extra work to set up but I am okay with a functional work around. Quote Link to comment
